Project Name : To remodify the Rolling bridge with an reduced area occupation.
Theme Name : Mathematics Modelling
Rolling bridge: The Rolling Bridge is a type of curling movable bridge completed in 2004 as part of the Grand Union Canal office & retail development project at Paddington Basin, London.
Scientific Principle Involved: Hydraulics
Hydraulics is a topic in applied science and engineering dealing with the mechanical properties of liquids. At a very basic level hydraulics is the liquid version of pneumatics. Fluid mechanics provides the theoretical foundation for hydraulics, which focuses on the engineering uses of fluid properties. In fluid power, hydraulics is used for the generation, control, and transmission of power by the use of pressurized liquids. Hydraulic topics range through some part of science and most of engineering modules, and cover concepts such as pipe flow, dam design, fluidics and fluid control circuitry, pumps, turbines, hydropower, computational fluid dynamics, flow measurement, river channel behavior and erosion.
Workings and Findings: It curls with an reduced area than normal bridges.
Utility and Future scope: It is a utility for space. If buzzers are added in the bridge, when any vehicle moves it vibrates, thus can produce electricity.
